No 38 Bistro & Bar in Carlisle

Excellent Sunday lunch. Served piping hot and plenty of it. Almost didn't have room for dessert. But I managed it. All of it. Too good to leave.

A regular place to visit for lunch for us. Food is incredible.

Delivery driver has kept my food after claiming he couldn’t find the address

Good atmosphere, value for money, helpful staff. Sirloin steak very good.

I can’t fault the staff or the atmosphere but the meal was disappointing. For a carvery it was very disappointing to have such little veg on offer. No carrots, no sprouts, no parsnips. Just lots of potatoes, Mac n cheese and peas. Apparently down to supplier issues but this wasn’t explained before we’d ordered or been seated. The Yorkshire pudding also tasted very much of lard or burnt oil. Overall a disappointing meal. The meat was great but the lack of veg was not good. I visit a lot of Toby carvery’s on tour, this was one of the worst
